Pinguicula cyclosecta Dulces Nombres, Nuevo León

A compact, color-changing living sculpture that produces deep violet blooms while effortlessly keeping your space free of fungus gnats.

Pinguicula cyclosecta is an absolute jewel of the butterwort world and a must-have for any serious carnivorous plant collector. Celebrated for its breathtaking visual transformation, this Mexican butterwort features neat, rounded rosettes with leaves that change from a soft mint-green with purple-blue colored edge, to a deep, dramatic metallic purple or smoky violet when grown under strong lighting.  

Pinguicula cyclosecta is native to a small area between the states of Nuevo León and Tamaulipas, Mexico. Plants from the Dulces Nombres location have large flowers of an even deep violet colour.

This compact botanical treasure is a natural work of art that doubles as an efficient, eco-friendly gnat catcher for your windowsill, terrarium, or indoor grow space.
